Hi there! My name is Becky, welcome to my travel blog, Waiting in Wanderlust. The inspiration behind this blog comes from my ongoing love and curiosity for travel and adventure. I cherish sharing pictures and experiences with friends and family, and I wanted a dedicated space to remember all my adventures in one spot. It brings me immense joy to inspire others to plan their vacations and discover the beauty of the world!
Traveling, for me, is more than just a vacation; it’s a true adventure. My travel style varies widely, from spontaneous road trips off the beaten path to luxurious all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean. I believe that every journey is unique, and I thrive on the thrill of exploring new places. If time and money were unlimited resources, I would see it ALL!

My Journey
I’m from North Carolina and have lived here since I was six months old. My love for travel truly blossomed during my study abroad experience in Paris at 20 years old. Living in Paris for six months was the most incredible experience of my life, shaping the person I am today. The food, the people, the loving host family, the rich history, and the sheer beauty of the city still occupy my thoughts daily. Paris is simply magical!
Denver holds a special place in my heart because my sister and my favorite little humans—my nephews—live there. I’ve explored much of Colorado over the past 13 years, falling in love with its majestic landscapes and vibrant city life.
Uganda is another destination that profoundly impacted me; I met the most beautiful and happy people there. Their kindness and warmth taught me more than I could have ever imagined, and I would be honored to return one day.
My travels to Israel were equally profound, as I got to see biblical stories come to life. I was blown away by the incredible diversity of climate and geography, from snowy mountaintops near the Syrian border to desert sands and Mediterranean beauty. The richness of the Sea of Galilee and the Tiberias region left an indelible mark on my heart.
Mexico is incredibly special. My fiance proposed in Puerto Vallarta and Cozumel holds dear memories as the location of our destination wedding celebration with friends and family.

My Travel Philosophy
From coast to coast and around the world, I believe there is a world of incredible beauty waiting to be uncovered. Different sounds, smells, and tastes define each culture, making every experience unique. I love connecting with locals and seeing destinations through their eyes. I’ve learned that some of the best food, sightseeing, and hidden gems are often known only to locals, far removed from the major tourist spots.
I’m always anticipating my next adventure and hope to inspire you to book that trip! My greatest wish is for everyone to be bitten by the travel bug and fall in love with the beauty of this world.
